Nice job. How dose the kit handle? The long arms must make a huge differance. I agree the discos were confusing at first. In the long run they will losen up and possiably snap hardware too. Keep an eye on them I had to replace mine within a year (the hardware not the discos). Def the kit to go with though. Very complete. Whats up with the front bumper? looks like the plate is mounted on the rad support.

Thanks. it handles great. like it was from the factory. the only issue i have is a kinda clunk over little bumps not big ones , just little fast ones,that comes from the pass side...i think its either the hiems on the long arm, or the discos making a fuss, but whatever it is im not worried, ill just take as collateral for being lifted 6 inches. lol.

Yeah the lady i bought it from rear ended some guy and bent the bumper in and craked the radiator, i fixed everything myself ( before i bought it and got paid!) and the bumper stayed the way it was. its kind mushed in the center and the top is laid back under the sloted grill so the plate mounts slanted up at a weird angle

I have the same color Jeep. I like the color because it isn't as common on cherokees as the reds and whites. I mean its called "Gunmetal Blue" nuff said!!! BTW awsome build bro. can't wait to see what else you do to it.

My LCAs made some of those noises too. Mine were due to a bent frame brkt on the drivers side and a worn out axle mount bushing. Check yours out if you havent yet. Also give the new hardware a monthly check for the first year.
